2 days ago I went on a 6 mile run. Then on around mile 4.5, my patellar tendon started having sharp pains every time I bent it. At first, I thought it was nothing but then it started getting tight and hurt a lot. I walked/jogged the rest of the way home.
I took a rest day yesterday. I felt great today; no pain whatsoever in my knees. I decided to go on a run. At first, everything was fine; I felt the best I have felt for a while. Then at mile 2, the pain in my knee came back. I practically had to limp 2 miles home.
I'm not sure what this is. There is absolutely no pain in my knee doing anything else. Going up the stairs, doing squats are all fine. But then in the middle of a run, there is excruciating pain and tightness in my knee.
What is this and how do I treat it?
